AP Top 25 Sleeping on Big ten Teams | LSU's Clemson Win Inflated? + Playoff Bold Picks
Dive into the chaos of Week 4's AP Poll Top 25 with JR and Zack on The Big Ten Huddle – where college football rankings get the unfiltered roast they deserve. We're exposing the obvious SEC bias that's propping up overrated teams like LSU just because of one shiny win against Clemson, while Big Ten beasts Indiana and USC get buried because pundits can't admit a conference powerhouse might actually dominate. It's the same tired narrative: underrate the Big Ten to protect SEC egos, but not on our watch.
In this episode, we break down every snub and overrank in the AP college football poll, from the Hoosiers' explosive offense getting zero love to USC's defensive grit ignored in favor of Southern hype. Then, we drop our own AP Top 25 alternative – a no-BS ranking that gives credit where it's due and buries the pretenders. Wrapping it up with our wildest college football playoff predictions: who crashes out early, which dark horses sneak in, and why the expanded CFP is about to get even messier.
If you're fed up with AP Poll reactions that coddle the SEC and shortchange the Big Ten, hit play now for the real talk on 2025 college football rankings.
